Best Green Smoothie EVER

One of the advantages of being the first one to post one our brand spankin' new blog is that I know my post will soon be overshadowed by others. Others not showcasing a dirty window AND a filthy windowsill. Yikes - that's not something I focus in on very often. Clearly.

But let me tell you that, despite the pathetic photography, this is one of the most delicious and frequently-made things in my kitchen. I can't take credit for the recipe - it's from one of my favorite vegan blogs Oh She Glows - but I can take credit for making it several times a week and thanking my lucky stars there's such a great way to up my greens intake. Painlessly.

Green Monster

(Makes 1 serving)

Ingredients:
1 c. almond milk (or milk of your choice)
1 Tbsp. chia seeds (omit these if you must, but they're a great energy boost - or use flax seeds)
1 Tbsp. peanut butter
2 large handfuls spinach
1 very ripe, frozen banana
ice cubes

Directions:
Put in blender in order listed, minus the ice. Blend well. Add ice (I use about 10 ice cubes), blend again, and serve. Makes about 2 cups.

    1. I get them in bulk at Smith's or Whole Foods. If you can't find them near you, you can easily order some online. But they're getting to be more common - you may even check Walmart!
